Forgive my ignorance on this, but why is there a global context item in the

I guess you have to go back to the design thinking for XSLT 1.0 here. 1.0 was
designed largely on the principle of "no run-time errors", and part of this was
that there was always a context item defined. Future versions, of course, had
to retain compatibility.
